als won seven of the last eight singles matches Wednesday, October 17th, including the final five, enroute to a recordbreaking victory in the 32nd annual Challenge Cup matches.

The 18-6 margin over the North Florida PGA at the Lost Tree Club topped the previous record by one-half point, a 17 ½ to 6 ½ win by the SFPGA in 2004 at Olde Florida in Naples.

“Our guys played hard for two days,” said SFPGA non-playing captain John Nelson of Coral Springs. “The North Florida guys played well but our team did better.” Overall, the SFPGA now leads by 21-9 with two halved matches.

Up10-2 after Tuesday’s team matches, including a rare 6-0 sweep in the afternoon foursomes, the SFPGA received a scare early Wednesday as the NFPGA won three and halved one to pull within five points at 10 ½ to 5 ½.

“I was really starting to worry,” Nelson said later, “But then Richard Terga won his match and our guys rolled from there.”

Dennis Meyer of Estero scored the clinching point for SFPGA, beating Tom Stecker of St. Augustine 6 and 5 for a 12 ½ to 5 ½ lead.

“I didn’t know that,” Meyer said later. “That’s pretty neat.” A senior who operates a golf academy, Meyer qualified to play in the open division. “I loved that, too,” he added.

Each side was comprised of 12 players including two seniors 50 years and older. Generally, players were selected from points lists based on season-long playing achievements. Jack Binswanger of Sarasota was the NFPGA captain.

FOUNDATION NEWS THE SOUTH FLORIDA PGA FOUNDATION’S PUTTING GREEN SCORES WITH JOE DIMAGGIO CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL

The South Florida PGA Foundation recently scored a “hole in one” with patients at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital when it partnered with Great Greenz to install an Astroturf putting green on the facility’s fourth floor. The winning stroke was part of an ongoing South Florida PGA program, called “Smiling Fore Life.”

Initiated in May, 2010, this effort has brought PGA Professionals to the Hollywood hospital every Tuesday afternoon to teach pediatric patients the basics of golf. “Smiling Fore Life provides a welcome distraction to young patients from personal and medical hardships they may be facing,” said Geoff Lofstead, Executive Director of the South Florida PGA. “It also allows the patients to learn a fun activity they can play at any age.”

“We opened our freestanding facility with the theme of ‘power of play’ because we appreciate the value of letting a kid be a kid, even in the hospital setting,” said Nick Masi, director of Family Centered Care at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital. “The putting green is a perfect addition to an already well-received program.”

Smiling Fore Life, now supported by the Florida Golf License Plate Program, was first developed as a means of providing PGA Professionals with an opportunity to touch the lives of individuals in South Florida. Since the program started at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, it has grown leaps and bounds. Today, nine PGA Professionals visit four south Florida children’s hospitals weekly, teaching young patients and visitors the game of golf.

“What we have accomplished to date would have seemed unimaginable two years ago,” said Tom Wildenhaus, president, South Florida PGA Foundation. “All the PGA Professionals who volunteer at Joe DiMaggio are very excited about the installation of the putting green. Perhaps during our Tuesday visits, we’ll uncover a future PGA Professional.”

SFPGA EXPANDS SMILING FOR LIFE PROGRAM

This fall the South Florida PGA Foundation will once again be making an expansion to the Smiling Fore Life program. A program which began in May of 2010 at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Hollywood, will now be offered at five hospitals throughout the Section, with the addition of Miami Children’s and the Quantum House this fall.

Thanks to PGA Professionals, Dave Pesacov, Jack Carney, Sebastian Camillo, Gayle Leslie, and Renee Trudeau for their assistance in making this expansion possible. For more information about Smiling Fore Life click here.

About Quantum House: Quantum House is a caring and supportive home that lessens the burden for families whose children are receiving treatment in Palm Beach County for a serious medical condition. Quantum House is a proud member of the National Association of Hospitality Houses.

About Miami Children’s Hospital: A world leader in pediatric healthcare, with a medical staff of more than 650 physicians and over 3,500 employees, the hospital is renowned for excellence in all aspects of pediatric medical care from birth through adolescence.
